There are a number of items that are required depending on where you travel and how many passengers your vehicle transports. Below is a break down of what you need to stay in compliance with DOT regulations.

• 9-15 pass van, interstate, indirect compensation – exempt from most of the safety regs under 390.3(f)(6).
• Exemption for needing MC # under USC 13506 for vehicles owned or operated by or for a hotel and only transporting hotel patrons between the hotel and the local station of a carrier.
• Private passenger carriage regulated for 16 + pass incl driver both inter and intrastate.
• Airport service would be considered intrastate only if there was no pre-arrangement for ground transportation made by the shipper, no purchase of a through ticket and no agreement between the motor carrier and the air carrier. Best example – walking out of the airport and hailing a ride.
